Re: Re: Re: chat messages

His opinion has always been that it doesn't seem to bother the cat, they
live a fine life without tinkering with it (his other eye is fine).  Doesn't
think it warrants the expense.  However, I have to go back next month for
Slugger's booster shots and Bartonalosis test, so I will discuss
Braveheart's eye problem further with him then.

Time really flies.  I think I mentioned my 5 boys range from 3 to 9 yrs.  Dr
says Slugger is barely 3.  But I just checked my files and Jack is 12 yrs -
that's supposedly 81 in human years.  My guess on Braveheart is 10 yrs.
